Message: <blockquote data-quote="blackstar" data-source="post: 790037" data-attributes="member: 47518">My new z6ii has arrived today together with a new 24-120mm f/4 S and an FTZii. B4 I can use it, made some visual inspections, and a few initial installations. Basically, the body and lens feel solid and strong in construction. The lens, however, is unexpectedly heavy (even heavier than F 70-300mm). [ATTACH]379342[/ATTACH]While waiting for the (long-time) battery charging, found some uneasy small negatives even b4 using it: (hope you experienced guys give some words of easing)1. the two strap eyelets dangling out to two sides of the body look very distractive and unpleasant to my eyes.[ATTACH]379343[/ATTACH]2. Somehow I failed, following the manual though, to install the lens hood correctly. At end (lens hood stop turning), the mounting mark is not aligned with the lens hood lock mark. I feel the hood just stops there and is not locked, so not secured. [ATTACH]379344[/ATTACH]Other than not being secured, the other problem could even have a bigger impact: it could sit at the wrong position blocking lights from the wrong direction. I have a 3rd party lens hood for my D3500 kit lens (18-55mm) having the same issue. However, its mounting mark runs and stops beyond the lock mark and I can turn it back to align and sit at the right position. But this one stops before the lock mark, so no way to align. Maybe I missed something. Please give me a hint or tip.3. I don't know if this is a negative, but even b4 I can try the EVF (no battery installed), you know, I take a peek at the VF as I did often with my D3500 OEV when it's off, and I suddenly feel what the xxx! Now I am not sure if I can or must go over with this sometime later?Appreciate all comments and helps.</blockquote>
